Synopsis
Shalom Live Stories includes a diverse range of speakers, both young adults (20s and 30s) and Gen X (40+), who each have 7 minutes to tell a personal, true story around a given theme. Storytellers are a mix of professional and amateur speakers, from the spectrum of the Jewish community and beyond, who have in common the willingness to be vulnerable in telling their story live and without notes, at an intimate bar in Sydney. Here are some highlights from our SOLD OUT events from 2017, with the theme of Lost and Soul Food (20s and 30s) and Freedom and New Beginnings (Gen X).---
